    DERMATOLOGY AT WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY THE TRADITION The tradition of Dermatology at Washington University School of Medicine can be best traced back to the earliest history of the Siteman Cancer Center in the late 1800s. After a tornado destroyed the old City Hospital in 1896, cancer patients were turned away from the emergency quarters that were established in the House of the Good Shephard. In 1905, in an effort to provide free cancer care to the poor, the St. Louis Skin and Cancer Hospital was founded in the old Tuholske Hospital. A few years later, a wealthy St. Louis Barnard Free Skin and Cancer Hospital businessman, George D. Barnard, financed the Barnard Circa ~ 1940. Located on Washington and Free Skin and Cancer Hospital for $130, 000 Theresa St., St, Louis MO. http://www.siteman.wustl.edu/internal.aspx?id=41. In the earliest days of Dermatology in St. Louis, over 50 physicians were trained as dermatologists through the Barnard Free Skin and Cancer Hospital. Early studies conducted at Barnard included work on fungi (Dr. Morris Moore), the epidermis (Dr. E.V. Cowdy) and cancer [1]. This initially free standing 44-bed hospital was later integrated into the Washington University School of Medicine in 1952. The current Barnard Hospital was erected in the Barnes complex in 1954. THE EARLY YEARS In the earliest years of Dermatology associated with Washington University, there were times when there was one “acting head”, and at others, two professors shared the responsibility. The first mention of a practicing dermatologist officially affiliated with Washington University was in the early 1900s.

This organization is necessary for their function and a tremendous challenge to their understand- ing that has motivated contributions from many outside fields. Our approach to studying the immune system computationally has been pragmatic: we have ap- plied any analysis method necessary to understand questions motivated by exper- imental biology, rather than use biology specifically to discover new physics or methods.

    PathBeat THE DEPARTMENT OF PATHOLOGY ALUMNI NEWSLETTER No. 1/May, 2000 VISION STATEMENT A Department in Transition MISSION STATEMENT I would like to extend my welcome to you on behalf of University of Iowa Health Care's Department of Pathology! As most of you know, I assumed the headship of this department in November 1999 after 19 years of extraordinary leadership by Dick Lynch. This inaugural newsletter is dedicated to the transition in departmental leadership. The Department is proud of its reputation for excellence in patient care, education, and scholarship. We have a long history of accomplishments and I urge you to look at our history. It was researched and written by Fred Stamler, MD, an Emeritus Professor in the Department, who spent his entire career here, primarily as a surgical pathologist. Fred Dee, who currently serves as Vice-Chair for Educational Affairs, kindly wrote additional comments about the Lynch years. We are truly fortunate to have outstanding people within the Department who are dedicated to achieving our goals. I consider myself lucky to help guide this Department into the new millennium. I am fully committed to the professional development of both the faculty and staff in the department. I have been busy since November and with six months under my belt I am still on the steep part of the learning curve. Believing that the transition in leadership has been smooth and effective, I am very optimistic about our future as we strive to reach the goals we have set. I look forward to working with all of you to ensure the continued growth of the Department of Pathology in the future.
